Another one tested at the brewery. Used to love the G. Heileman products and was expecting good. Was disappointed by this one, although I never did like Special export

Light feel, light finish, light hops, light malt. Nothing special. Thirst quenching maybe, but not much flavor to sink into.

Got this one as part of a City Brewery Variety Pack ($8.99 for 12 bottles o' beer). While not an exceptional beer in any sense, it's nonetheless quite drinkable. Decent head when first poured into the glass. Clear light gold body. Fairly light-tasting overall but hoppier than I expected. Also fizzier. This is a good beer to have on hand for those folks who drop by and aren't into more "exotic" stuff...

UPDATED: JUN 23, 2004 Surprised by how strong a flavor this actually had, Not saying it is newcastle by any stretch of the imagination, but surprisingly drinkable

It’s a step up from industrial beer, but thats not saying much.

8 bucks for a case. Wasn’t expecting much. Lager is my favorite of the brew city lineup. If you want to get smashed on a couple bucks, this is your beer.

10 times better than Old Style. But still is not very well brewed

This cost $10 for a case. Pours a honey brown color. Head lasts a little while but not very long. Smells skunked and tastes skunked, as well. Avoid this one...

A local store had it on sale for forty seven cents a can, so I bought a sixer. Very easy on the wallet and easier on the body then a lot of other "budget" priced beers. This is just a good cheap beer that does its job commendably in the most inoffensive way possible.
